It's wasn't that bad IMO....
I was fine with its simplistic and basic gameplay, and even though it was more style over substance, that is SOME style, if it is getting ported chances are it'll look superb on PC, there are a bunch of areas in the game that were very dynamic and colorful.
Dat Armaros fight in 4K heh.
that review state one stat speed/quickness will give you extra turn and that gonna cheese your game the hell out especially the game only judge how fast you complete the stage not the method, I really can see how that being an problem in grid turnbased game like this.
I guess I better try it myself

or ... it could be this
Tecmo wouldn't outsource that to Ghostlight.
I really want it, though.

Only interested in Holy Potatoes. Sooooooo Hard Pass.
Crap tiers in Humble (have almost everything).
Crap weeklies.
Crap GOG dailies.
Another crappy weekend. :\
RE5. Sheva's AI
becomes much more difficult to manage chapter 5 and beyond. Especially during boss fights, requiring you come to up with strategies that keep her from being killed.
And the rifle is the only weapon she seems proficient with. She doesn't aim for headshots with the machine gun, which means she's just burning ammo for the sake of it.

I'll say that it's worth checking out because it's extremely unique.
But it's not a good game

u wot m8?
Kinda had the same experience. The game is so gorgeous and visually interesting but the gameplay was really dull IMO.
As a music game, CotN is pretty easy. Each level has the same song, and the song never changes beats or anything. If you can tap you finger to the beat of any song on the radio without screwing it up, you'll be fine when it comes to the rhythm aspect of the game. Additionally, there isn't much punishment for missing beats. While you can only move/attack/dig/whatever on the beats, the only benefit to not missing any beats is keeping your coin multiplier up. If anything, I'd call that one of the game's weaker points. There's a music element, but there's not enough incentive to do well at it.
The rest of the game can be pretty tough, though. The game definitely punishes you for rushing into battle, as you don't have that much health and you can get screwed if you get yourself surrounded. I also wasn't a fan of how some of the roguelike elements don't seem to be balanced all that well. You regularly come across shrines while playing that offer you some benefit in exchange for a penalty of some sort. In most cases, though, the penalty far, far outweighs the benefit, so I usually just ignore them.
Still a great game, though. One of the best soundtracks in recent years (Danny Baranowsky strikes again!), and the concept is unique enough to overcome any shortcomings.
Have every POP game on Steam.
Have most of Bullfrog games on GOG, not interested in the rest of them.
Crap dailies.

^It's not exactly a series, it's just one game.
Well I think they're great for anyone who hasn't gotten them yet, I was even tempted to make threads about those GOG dailies.
Why are you using quotation marks like that?
It's as much a game as is Hatoful Boyfriend is a game, as is every recent Telltalte games' release is a game, and as is Steins;gate or Higurashi is a game.
That's like me saying Tomb Raider 2013 is a decent "game".
Really now....

I can tell you right now that IMO Devil's Dare isn't worth it.
Not too far into Dusty Revenge, but currently I ain't feeling it very much.
No opinion on the rest.

I shouldn't have used quotation marks, I just wanted to emphasize the word, my bad.
Let me rephrase: It's worth playing, but not for the gameplay/combat.

Fair enough :3
There are actually games I'd categorize as such but their names escape me atm @_@
Oh, absolutely, Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate are pretty much some of the best titles GOG has on offer.

Haven't even played Invisible, Inc. yet, because they hadn't added controller support last I'd checked.
Bloodborne, Vanquish, Bayonetta, Metal Wolf Chaos.
take your pick
I don't think they've put out a bad game, so it's pretty much a no-brainer.
Well, Vanquish and Bayonetta are probably the easiest of the 3 viable answers you provided...
As for Klei, my dislike of them as a company and their hypocritical business practices, I'd have to disagree. Shank was mediocre, at best, so that makes your statement a bit suspect to begin with.
I'd agree with this.
You don't get to talk about difficulty, Mr. "SEVERLY OVERLEVELED FOR NG".
Yes. Even if you don't get the 'rhythm' part working for you, it just makes the game a bit harder with the default character (you lose your bonus multiplier for money which lets you buy less equipment, obviously).
Buy it. It's awesome.
I'd have done $1 for Potatoes. Maybe BTA. But $12? Eff off.
Exactly.

You've heard of him, one the same. The game was Real Sound: Kaze no Regret, was made as an audio-only game, and yes, Kenji Eno was in charge of the project. The project came about after Enemy Zero, which was really popular in Japan (sold surprisingly well there), as it's a game with the audio cues it has you can play almost entirely through its audio.
To quote Wikipedia's entry on why the game was made:
Konami is making it real hard for anyone to successfully invade an FOB. Some poor guy just invaded me and I for the first time in a while saw how supped up my FOB defenses were. Jeez my guys cornered him up against some vents under a bridge and bombarded him with missles lol. I didn't even have to do anything just witness this guy get devoured. He couldn't even make it past 2nd platform. Feel bad for him all he probably wanted was some resources

Random: What happened to the Dragonball Xenoverse Season Pass? Store page is gone, price is gone, etc.

Eh.
I don't think I was over leveled and thought Gwyn was pretty easily. Granted Solaire did most of the tanking while I launched some magic. I think it was over in about 20 seconds.
Cheesed or not, compared to some other bosses he was a cakewalk.

I can confirm it. I think I'm pretty good on Fob, I stole with no problem 80+ nukes, only invading high level Fobs, doing a lot of espionage points on every match, going undetected a lot of times to the core.
With the last patch I still didn't manage to steal some nukes and successfully invade a Fob.
It seems to me that even AI was touched, they are less dumb than usual, they follow you now if you try to hide instead of doing 4 meters and stay here. With new reflex mode it's way too easy to be spotted, Also I already found cheaters (maybe) with new items released two days ago in the patch (that's impossible because they need 12 days to be developed, or maybe they just used MB coins), and they make the game even harder.

He was an interesting developer, as I said his thoughts and interviews are quite interesting, and he was definitely a creative mind. It's part of the reason his early death was very sad to fans of his games like myself, there's really nothing else out there like the games he made and he had quite a character and did a few interesting hijinks in his day. Though the last project he was working on is still being made by his team.
From a lore perspective he should be easy. He's sacrificed his entire soul and energy to preserve the flame and is just a husk of his current self.
You have absorbed the souls of all of the great entities of the world and are at the peak of your power.

That is some straight garbage. I might have considered it if the Phantoms packs were Steam-redeemable (I've been meaning to get into it eventually), but the rest of the package isn't worth it.

You brought Solaire? Wuss.
The true Dark Soul battles Gwyn 1 on 1.
When I took him on, he wasn't anywhere near the most difficult boss of the game, but that's not to say he was devoid of challenge. I had to shake off my rust when it came to parrying and make sure I didn't miss the timing by being a second late. If he hit me, it was either instant death or made it so if I didn't use an estus flask, it would be on the next hit. I also believe that he was doing chip damage, as I was using a 95% fire reduction shield... so even if I blocked early, I couldn't just turtle. He was aggressive enough that he didn't really give me any easy openings for using estus. Veggie was watching through Steam broadcasting when I was playing, he can vouch for the epicness of the fight.
Yes. If you bring summons with you, you should wreck him. But this is true of most bosses in the series.

Oh. Well.
That makes sense then.
One more week and Assassins Creed Syndicate will be here
I wonder what nightmare inducing bugs will be found.

Gwyn is not "easy" on any level. Is not that hard, expecially compared to other bosses from DS1, but easy? No. They key is just counter-attack him using your shield. But he attacks very fast without pretty much stopping. If you mastered the counter-attack, the fight is a joke, having a buddy helps a lot here, but on solo is totally doable too.
